The Illinois State Bar Association and Constitutional Rights Foundation Chicago are excited to offer an opportunity for Champaign County Attorneys to work with Champaign Public Middle Schools once again this year. Through the CRFC Champaign Lawyers in the Classroom program (LIC) you can bring your real-life legal experiences into 8th grade classrooms, serve as a positive adult role model, and expose middle school students to a career in the field of law. Training Program: Tuesday, Oct. 5, 5:30 p.m. - 7:00 p.m. Partner Classroom Visits Friday, Oct. 22; Friday, Nov. 5; Friday, Nov. 19 Now approaching our third year of the program in Champaign, participating LIC attorneys will make visits to almost 800 students at all three Champaign public middle schools in the fall of 2010. While there, attorneys will lead dynamic, interactive lessons about the Bill of Rights and the Constitution. Champaign Public Schools administrators and teachers are very excited to welcome attorneys back this fall. The Constitutional Rights Foundation Chicago will provide all of the materials, training and strategies for working with this age group and will partner pairs of attorneys with two classrooms. All participating Champaign middle school teachers have attended training and are eager to partner with you in this wonderful experience. Time Commitment -- Interested attorneys will attend a short evening training for the program on Tuesday, Oct. 5, 2010 from 5:30-7:00 p.m. and then make three 2-hour visits to their partner classrooms on Oct. 22, Nov. 5, and Nov. 19, 2010 to lead lessons. Contact Jessica Chethik (chethik@crfc.org /(312) 663-9057) by Friday, Aug. 6, if you'd like to take part in this exciting new opportunity.
